Didn't hear back from any of the jobs today, hopefully tomorrow, but if not then I will be making a few phone calls on Friday.

We ordered 100 gallons of heating oil today. We have no idea how much we will use (since we've never had oil heat before), and since the money is tight, we decided to start with the smallest amount they would deliver....
Does anyone out there use oil? How many gallons do you use a winter? What do you keep your heat at? (I know it varies depending on size of house, insulation, etc.... but it could give us an idea...)

To warm up my chilled bones this morning, I took a bath... heavenly! I use to take baths a lot more but haven't really been in the mood, plus I know they use a lot more water!

When I took the kitties out for their daily kitty adventure, I was looking around trying to picture how the house and trees will look surrounded by snow. I'm a little excited to see and decorate for our first Christmas here.

Frugal Thought of the Day: When I first saw the showering habits of my husband, he would turn the water on, get wet, then turn it off to soap up... I thought he was very bizarre (and still do!!!), but this is a great way to save on water.
I know it can get cold during the winter, but during the hot months this could be something to try....
